It’s crazy to think that students now are walking in the same halls as their parents.
High school is a pivotal time for many. Several upperclassmen now hear stories from their parents’ youth and their time spent at Eagle High.
Junior Ellie Davis’ parents are high school sweethearts from Eagle High. Kim and Devyn Davis’ love story origin started here, as well as many other stories.
Senior Branson Faulk has taken a similar path compared to his father at Eagle High. He leads a joy filled and constantly busy life.
“My dad, Brad Faulk, went to Eagle High and in 2000,” Faulk said. “He was also a multisport athlete and graduated his junior year.”
The apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree in the Faulk family.
“I was in ‘Stang Gang,’ I did track and field, I played basketball, I’m in the newspaper, I did Just Serve, I was the liaison for special education and got to plan those events for them,” Faulk said.
As busy as Faulk is, he takes after his father and his desire to do it all. Both are overachievers and have had an impact on Eagle High.
“I would like to leave a legacy of kindness, compassion and that I got to leave at least a tiny bit of a positive impact to EHS,” Faulk said.
Senior Jaxson Lebeau and his father Craig Lebeau have made a lasting impact on Eagle High as well. Jaxson Lebeau played football for all four years of high school. He wrestled for two and played rugby for three, Lebeau is similar to his father in that aspect.
“Craig was in the third graduating class for Eagle High, class of 1998, and was the first heavy-weight wrestler to win a district title at Eagle,” Lebeau said. “He also went to the State Championship for football as a senior.”
These two share a special bond as a father son duo. Craig Lebeau was not only Jaxson Lebeau’s dad, but also his football coach. They both leave a legacy of hard work and respect.
“I am hoping to leave a lasting impact on respect for teachers,” Lebeau said. “Teachers don’t exactly get the respect and kindness they deserve; they are vital pieces to our school system and our economy, and they should be treated as such.”
Senior Marley Johnson has so many fun stories about her dad, Ryan Johnson. He made a lot of memories when he attended Eagle High.
“He graduated in 1997. He spent two years at Centennial High and two at Eagle,” Johnson said.
This is because Eagle High had been newly built and he wanted to attend the new school. Attending a new school broadened his friend group.
“He did not participate in too many school sports or activities,” Johnson said. “He did play tennis his senior year and went to a lot of the sports events and dances.”
Marley explained that senior skip day back then was a holiday. Her dad Ryan Johnson hung out with almost 400 of his classmates at Eagle Island State Park swimming and fishing. He also had some naughty friends that got in huge trouble for their senior prank, as they spray painted Centennial’s turf and got caught.
“I was not really thinking about legacy as a teenager,” Ryan Johnson said. “But hopefully my teachers and classmates would remember me as someone that was hard working, responsible, respectful, fun and kind.”
Eagle High has created the most memorable moments for many that have attended here.
